Ovidio Castanio
- Bruce Conrad: Tell me, Signor Conrad, in a case like this, whom does one condole? To whom does one express his grief and sympathy?
- Ovidio Castanio: To me. I made a very fair living playing chess and gambling with him. Eating his food, drinking his wine. Now that he's gone, I'm without doubt the chief mourner.
- Ovidio Castanio: It was a dreadful accident, entirely unexpected.
- Bruce Conrad: Yes, accidents usually are.
- Ovidio Castanio: But of course, you are aware of the law that forbids the export of authentic antiques without a special permit?
- Bruce Conrad: Ma certa, Commissario. I am well aware of every law. I would not dream of dealing in *authentic* antiques.
- Ovidio Castanio: In my mind there is no doubt the hand is walking around.
- Bruce Conrad: You don't believe in things like that.
- Ovidio Castanio: Unfortunately for the peace of our souls, one cannot explain everything logically that happens in this world, Signor Conrad.
- Clara: The Devil's haunting this house! The Devil! Signor Ingram's hand!
- Giovanna: Quickly, before it catches up with us!
- Antonio: Ah, you're always imagining things. The night your grandmother died, you heard skeletons rattling.
- Clara: Well if you don't believe me, why are you running away?
- Antonio: Well, it can't hurt to be on the safe side.
- Hilary Cummins: [seeing them sneak away outside from inside the villa] Look, there they go. Giovanna, Antonio, and Clara. They're more afraid of ghosts than of the law.
- Ovidio Castanio: The law doesn't like it too much either. If I were not the Commissario, I would be right with them.
